Merge, Divert & Sorting Conveyors

Merge and divert conveyors allow you to control product flow across multiple lanes, balance line capacity, and sort products for downstream operations. With options for mechanical guides or fully automated servo gates, these systems help reduce bottlenecks and improve efficiency without increasing manual handling.

Built for your Operation

Combine lanes, singulate flow, or route products based on size, weight, or line capacity. Our merge and divert solutions range from simple static guides and plows to servo-driven gates and pop-up transfers, giving you the flexibility to scale throughput without adding labor.

Direct Conveyors builds these systems on proven platforms like Flat-Top Chain and Timing Belt conveyors, ensuring smooth product handling and precise control. Whether you need basic lane merging or complex sortation logic, we deliver engineered solutions that integrate seamlessly with your automation.

Common Applications
  • Lane merging for multi-line packaging
  • Singulation for inspection or labeling
